Why are some presses hard to open?
Before buying a press, make sure it is easy to open and close. This depends on the design of the press. Even if you apply just one transfer a day, working with a press that is difficult to open and close is no fun. The more transfers you apply, the more important this feature becomes. Hotronix™ and Phoenix presses are engineered with precision machined pivot assemblies to ensure no jerking or jarring when you open the press. It’s the smoothest press you’ll ever operate. If you’ve operated a heat press before that “pops” or “jumps” when you open it, you’ll really appreciate the smooth operation of all Hotronix™ presses.
